My Raging Emotions

Great international business opportunity

2011-02-14T08:09:00.000+07:00

I want to share this!!!

A couple of months ago I was introduced by a friend to this business. At the beginning I was impressed by the great product. I was benefit from it. Usually I would have pain on the first day of my period. I felt weak and not fit at all. But after regular use, I was surprised to find that I didn't feel pain and feel energetic on the first month I use the product.

This has helped lots of women.

The business itself has grewn in 100 countries and territories in just four years.

I saw brothers and sisters from all over the world come to Jakarta to attend our business meetings and trainings.

So, why not work together building a business, in an international channel?

Isn't it great?

One training that has moved me is Life Changing Bootcamp. I went there in November 2010. I managed to let go, forgive and forget the pains I've been carried in my life for years.

This really is a HUGE business. We'll achieve financial freedom doing this, in 3-5 years work program!

I hope we can discuss the business soon after you watch the video. My Yahoo Messenger is online :) (yahoo ID: mspras0604)

Talk to you soon.

Two laptops stolen!

2010-08-05T18:39:00.000+07:00

This topic was posted in my health and beauty blog because I have taken the pictures of the products I bought in Singpore last week and saved them in my laptop. All I have to do was edit the photos.

Since this blog is about my raging emotions, so this is the right time to be furious!
Yesterday afternoon I got a call from my sister saying that we both have lost our laptops!

A stranger came to our house, talked to our maid and saying as if he really knew me and my brother in law and he was instructed by my bro-in-law to pick my laptop because he broke it and asked this guy to fix it. To make the story short, I think my maid was hypnotized by this jerk, because he swore to her that he was doing our instruction and then she was asked to stare at his eyes.
She couldn't remember what has happened and who actually pick the laptops out of the storage place.
When she then conscious, she remembered that she needed to call my bro-in-law to check the truth of his story, but the jerk has left!
She doesn't have my bro-in-law mobile number, so she called me and my sis, but somehow she couldn't get thru... And I didn't see any incoming calls from her on my screen.

He didn't take anything else beside the laptop units.
So odd.... He knew that my bro-in-law work in other town, and he usually comes home in the weekend. He knew that I'm called "bude" or auntie at home. He knew what type of my sister's laptop, the brand, and where sis keep it. My maid didn't know where my sis' laptop is!

Well, this is the second time I got robbed within 4 months. The first was on May 3, when my blackberry was stolen from my car under my nose......

It's sad because we needed the laptop to start and build our online business. We plan to resign from our jobs. My sister had taken time to save the money to buy that laptop.
And to know that a strange has been into our rooms and touched our stuffs???? Scarry!
Our privacy has been violated!
The house is the place where it should be the safest place for us and our family to live in. But look what has happened!

I only have my office laptop now and I'm not allowed to install any softwares for personal use.

To my friends, be careful out there, crime is everywhere!

All I can say is gratitude to God that the kids (my niece and nephew) are safe. We need to protect ourselves more now.

Too many things to think, I broke down!

2010-02-28T23:22:00.002+07:00

I was frustrated!
Dreamed of my late father, like he wanted to show me something. Maybe show my mistake....
Cried the whole day! Eyes hurt.

I'm overwhelmed!

2010-02-05T21:36:00.004+07:00

Should his antidote mount a stumbling soup?

The last 3 weeks has been an excited moment for me. I'm overwhelmed with business opportunities I'm receiving.
I have decided to quit my job in July 2010. Therefore, I have written business plan to back up my decision and what needs to be done.
There are short term, medium term, and long term plan.
Short term plan must generate fast money/cash. It will contribute to my long term plan, which is my dream thing to have my own make up line.

I've received many orders from my beauty shop customers and I've got two new business ideas since last week.
One was cell phone credit voucher business and another one was selling organic vanilla bean.
Somehow, when we strengthen our affirmation to reach something, the higher power will just guide and show us the way!

Updates on beauty business, Dec 2009

2009-12-27T15:52:00.004+07:00

After what has been happening in previous months with my online beauty shop, I have made some changes in order to achieve improvements:

1. I asked my friend who lives in NY to assist me to forward the packages I ordered from my supplier.
I have tested one batch and it arrived in my house within 14 days, as expected.

2. In early December, I moved the website, from http://beauty.mirnasakina.com to http://mu-beautyshop.com.
It will create more professional image. The domain name is as same as the shop name.
It took me sometime to move the contents and to change the website template.
Also to redirect the existing customers and incoming visitors from old address to new address.

3. I started to use autoresponder to update my customers with new items in my websites.
I updated the database if my customers order from other means (Facebook, e-mail, or SMS)

4. I created Facebook page for the shop. I advertised the page for 2 days and voila, I have 370 fans now. I didn't continue the advertisement due to cost.
Now I'm updating the status with everything new in my online shop.

5. I've got an idea to become cosmetic purchase assistant for people here.
The goal is to get brands that is not sold in Indonesia for the customer at certain fee.
Yes, I won't charge the new price, but it will be charged on fees.
I need to work on the amount of the fee and terms & condition.

6. I will prepare an e-book about mineral make up for Indonesia market.
This really excites me.... I need to compile the materials (images, videos, healt articles, make up tips, etc) and consult how to make an e-book with my senior in Asian Brain.

7. I'm contacting a mineral make up supplier which I will be making it as my priority brand I carry in MU Beauty Shop.
I'm ordering the samples first to test the products.
I also found and interesting products in mineral make up for acne treatment.

8. To bring professional image. I hired a professional graphic designer to design website banner and business card for me at Etsy.Com . I'm in the process of filling in questionaire right now in order for her to start the work.

So..... This will continue. This what I want to achieve in 2010! My own business......

I love becoming an entrepreneur!

2009 reflection

2009-12-27T02:21:00.003+07:00

Oh my.... How time goes so fast! The year of 2010 will be coming soon.

Just a quick reflection on what I have and have/did not done in 2009.
JOB
a. I can say I'm doing OK. Didn't get great achievement but I start to get the hang out of it.
Small conflicts with "that" person in office goes on and off, depends on her mood!
The distributor didn't achieve target though. But relationship and communication I have with the staffs are good!
I don't know why my PS is not proactive...... I wish I did the first interview with him.

b. On March 2009, I finally bought a second hand car. Which was sufficient for me.
It's in good condition, has AC, radio and tape, good machine. What else can I ask with a limited budget I have.
Thanks to office that support me with transportation allowance. It was a hard decision to get the money for down payment. But as usual, God let me get it!

c. New top management doesn't give the thrill. Business is kinda slow for the last 4 months.
Like a friend said, I'm just surviving in this company.

OWN BUSINESS and INTERNET MARKETING
I haven't been active in my Asian Brain community for several months. My websites and blogs have been neglected as I'm busy with office work.
So Google Page Ranking of my blogs disappeared! Order to write reviews was almost none......

But, in August 2009, I launched my online beauty shop. I felt I needed to start now and not wait too long, and don't be carried away with the job I have.

Yes, I need to watch my expenses right now since I need the money to buy beauty stuffs for my beauty shop. Orders coming in slowly, but I can see it will grow and flourish!
I have vision in my head what to do next.
It feels good to see happy customers, MY OWN customers!

I also start active in Asian Brain offline gathering for the last 2 months to see what's happening. And it was good!
My sister, who I have been motivating to get extra income by selling some thing, has finally found her own way. She's selling batik now at Facebook, hahaha......
Check out the batik style in her album.

FINANCE
- The company pays me good salary :)
- The salary I use to pay the credit card debts. And I also managed to ask discounts to credit card company so I can settle the debt sooner.
- I still have no saving yet..... and my insurance hasn't been paid for sometimes. I hope the insurance isn't terminated yet.

HEALTH
I'm not fit and healthy!
I stopped going to the gym since March or April 2009 due to my back pain problem.
Then I get cold easily but recover in long period of time (that sucks).
I had a long cold in August 2009, then coughing started in mid September 2009, and not treated yet.
And after I came back from my overseas trip, now I have middle ear accute infection!
I haven't done blood test for months too.............
I think everything started from the emotions and feelings and pressure that I'm having.
Stress from work, pressure to have own business, and emotional experience with my love life.
I have to do something so I can regain the health level I should be at.

LOVE LIFE
I didn't get married, again. It's just getting difficult and I don't want to be pushy with my partner. If we are not meant, then we are not. I didn't prefer his attitude, though.
I don't think I will be rushing to get new relationship. I'm kinda reluctant and sick to think about it......Eekkks...

Isolated and irritated

2009-12-03T23:32:00.006+07:00

Never thought that being sick (just flu and coughing) my colleagues would treat me in such a way.
It was also interesting because, as I said, colleagues will remain colleagues. It's rarely to have friendship with them.
Well, I get along with them at work, but not that comfortable as room mate. Each of us has different habits when we are in our own home.

So, we were on a trip last November.
My division had selling skill training in KL, Malaysia. Therefore I shared a room with Mrs. N.
I have been sharing room with her several times. So far, we were OK.
But then, my coughing got worse and then I started to catch a cold during the trip.
She then kept her distance because she said she didn't want to get sick. She just came from one month training in Shanghai, which at that time climate change was extreme. Of course, the reason was understandable, but it's how she conveyed the message and her objection.
She didn't want to sit near me in the van, and she asked for far plane seat when we were going to Bangkok from KL.
Ah, she should remember how sick she was when we traveled in last April. She couldn't walk due to her gout. But then, it wasn't contagious >_<

In Thailand, I had different room mate. She and Mrs. N switch their places because Mrs.R doesn't know her room mate from Philippines and Mrs. N knows her well. (actually, both of them are at similar age as mine, but I addressed them because they're married, lol).
It was my first time sharing a room with Mrs. R. So far, I mingle well with her.
But, sometimes she's pushy.
On the last day of the meeting, I couldn't stand anymore. I had headache and my asthma just reoccurred. The team was sitting at round table having discussion. I was waiting for my turn to discuss with the manager. Mrs. R kept asking me to go to see a doctor, she started to irritate me because I knew I needed to go soon, but I needed to finish my part first before I'm gone. Grrrr.......
To make me more irritated, when I was going nearer to manager to start the discussion, and he found out I was having cold, he asked me not to sit near.
I'm kinda feel embarassed!

This post doesn't really show how I felt at that time!

My beauty business

2009-10-31T23:50:00.005+07:00

Following up my posting on my business, I launched the (temporary) website for my online beauty shop in August 24, 2009. Why temporary? Because I was yet to pick the ultimate domain name for the website. I have picked the name of the shop: The "MU" Beauty Shop though.
I just needed to start launching the site quick, needed to work on the project and make things become real. I'm racing with time. I don't have much time with me. The office job is making me crazy!

So, the first batch of mineral make up pre-order was a good start. I didn't have to promote using advertisement, I just gave word-of-mouth promotion to my close friends and also did SEO technique to the website.

Some hiccups happened due to shipment. I need to find another way to ship this particular mineral make up brand from the original country, USA, to Jakarta so that:
1) I can ship faster to my customers,
2) I can get reasonable shipment price,
3) I can track down the package status (having this kind of service will increase my cost, but it's worth it)
I depend on a friend who lives in USA to pass me the packages because the company has stopped shipping to Indonesia.

To make the shop looks like a shop, I need to start filling the shop with goodies, right?
So beside listing the brand names that I've already known, I also regularly surfing the net to find unique natural beauty products. Reading reviews in blogs really help me to expand my knowledge and help me to choose the unique products for my shop.
It's interesting because I act as a seller but also a buyer :)

I found many natural beauty products, I contacted the owners and ask so many things about their products and shop policy...... I've spent a lot of money this month (Oct 31, 2009) to buy testers and samples. Again, the hiccup is the shipment, I can't wait to try all of the samples, but till now nothing yet in my hand. I can't track down the packages because there are no tracking numbers. I also hope that Indonesia custom will not hold anything. There were only two brand names arrived at my place. I'm still waiting for the rest of the package.

Aaarggh, I can't stand waiting ....

My exercise life

2009-10-19T23:53:00.009+07:00

I live an active life and was a Tae Kwon Do athlete until I stopped competing about ten years ago. But it doesn't stop me to keep exercising. This corporate life has consumed lots of energy and emotion, so exercising is really good to release bad/negative feelings.

Most of the time, I do solo exercise.... at the gym. I'd attend classes for pilates, yoga, aerobics, or just walk or jog on treadmill.

What I want to experience more is team sports, where I get together with my old friends, exercise together, and hang out and do some catch ups afterwards.

It can build better relationship with my friends. And if you do it with your office colleague, it will also do the same, better work relationship and better understanding of each other's characteristics.

The trend in Indonesia right now is Futsal or mini soccer where you only have five players in your team. Even you can always play in bigger soccer team if the people is there.

Not many people is playing Baseball or Softball here, but I'm sure there's always one or two groups doing it after office hour.

Another popular game which people play here is Volleyball. Most of the time, my neighborhood will hold a Volleyball competition during our Independence Day. That's where I'd join and try to get our team win!

While for school kids, it's a new thing to have cheerleading in their school. I noticed several cheerleading competition in my city. The kids are good at it.

Living in this busy city, I can't afford to forget my exercise routine.

My own biz: The Mu Company

2009-08-12T22:51:00.005+07:00

My emotions and feeling nowadays are raging. I keep thinking about having my own business and it's frustrated because I haven't had a chance (or you can say: too lazy ) to work on my personal goals.
Every night I go online just to check out products and do some research, but I haven't compiled them in a business plan! All of the materials are in my head, I should have started writing and just do it! Don't think.

I've found what my company name will be: The Mu Company. Well, the "mu" should be pronounced "mew" as it's taken from one of Greek Alphabet.

Why I decided to use the name?
Well, first of all, I'm obsessed with mineral make up since a year ago.
I was thinking to name the business "Mirna's Mineral Make Up" = M3U. If you pronounce it, M3U is like "mew", right?
Then I recalled that there's a Greek alphabet with similar pronunciation. Boy, I was right!
It's the M alphabet. See the picture below?

Mu (uppercase Μ, lowercase μ; Greek: Μι or Μυ [mi]) is the 12th letter of the Greek alphabet. Mu was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water () which had been simplified by the Phoenicians and named after their word for water, to become Mem
The letter Mu appears in conjunction with alpha and omega to signify the "beginning, middle (meson) and end", a phrase found in an Orphic verse describing Zeus, and later adopted to describe both JHWH and Jesus.

It's perfect, cos my name begins with M.

Facts that support my decision:
1. M, the initial of my name
2. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 40. Do you know what it means? That I must reach successful and enjoy it at the age of 40. Wow....
3. Middle, yup indeed. I'm in the middle of my life age now, I'm 32 years old.
4. Mu, in Indonesian is a short from "kamu", means you. My company is focus on you, my customers.

The Mu Company may have several divisions. For example, I can have The Mu Health Store, The Mu Cosmetics, The Mu Consultants, the possibility is unlimited!

For the products I'll sell, I'll start from health product, as I have Tahitian Noni Juice product range right now, I'll add mineral make up to the business line.

OK, enough for now. At least I have written something to ease my brain pain.
Need to go to sleep now, I'm having a cold.

Bombings in Jakarta

2009-07-30T02:12:00.002+07:00

After several years, we never thought that this will happen again!
We were shocked, the terrorist has attacked us again!
It was on July 17, 2009 in the morning. I was in Surabaya for exhibition, I was just arriving at the site when my colleagues and visitors were discussing about it. The ones who's got Blackberry, showed us the explosion pictures through internet.

The targets were Ritz Carlton Hotel and JW Marriott Hotel! Those are near my office in Kuningan.

Manchester United was in KL, Malaysia, when this happened. They were supposed to arrive to Jakarta the next day.

I'm grateful

2009-07-26T23:48:00.003+07:00

I'm really grateful of what I have, what I receive from my Creator.
I drive a car, while others go on foot, by bike, or squeezed in the bus.
I travel to new places, while others only stays in their place.
There are people, selling stuff by going around my housing complex and carrying the goods, while I go visit hospitals.

I can't complaint. Everyday I wake up in the morning, it means my Creator gives me chance to do useful things in my life.

Are you in love with your best friend?

2009-06-08T23:29:00.003+07:00

Love the lyric: I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Enough said.

Jason Mraz - Lucky feat. Colbie Caillat

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Taking criticism

2009-02-24T07:59:00.002+07:00

It requires open mind, big heart, positive thought, and control of emotions when a person takes critics from others.
The critics can be reconstructive, which is good. And it can be destructive too. Depends how you see those things, then you know how to interpret them.

My oh my, I had my portion of the critics!
I was upset because I felt I was being attacked, in front of my big boss!
Then my big boss shot at me too at the same time. Gees.....
After that scary moment gone, I cleared my mind and I just took it as an input to improve my performance.

There..... Don't take it personally, cos people just say words. Filter it and take the essence.

Good reading: Taking Criticism with a Smile

You Don't Know How Good Your Life Is...

2009-02-13T00:08:00.003+07:00

Have you ever thought that you are the most misserable person in the world?
Life has never been fair, burden is too heavy, salary is too small, etc.

Check out these photos!

Hidup Anda susah? Bagaimana dengan mereka?

Pekerjaan Anda terlalu berat? Dibanding dengan Anak ini lebih berat mana?

Your salary amount is small? It may be big for this child.

Don't have any friends? This soldier's got a friend, but not a human.

Too lazy to go to school? You must be ashamed....

Menyerah? Lihat orang tua ini

Hidup Anda menderita? Mungkin orang ini lebih menderita dibanding Anda

Sering marah gara-gara jalanan becek/berlubang di perumahan Anda? Bagaimana dengan mereka?

Got heavy work? Look at this lady.

It turns out you're life is still better, my friends.

Some people is better remain working colleague

2009-02-09T01:47:00.004+07:00

In this new employee of mine, I have learned a lot! I mean, I learned about how people behave, I learned not to be too naive and be more alert and careful.
I didn't like it because it means I'm not becoming myself who likes to talk and share. But damn! We can't share everything, we can't say even some nice things just because it will create different perception. Silly, eh? Can't I be sincere without creating any prejudice?

I got several conflicts with a colleague of mine, which I didn't bother too much because I didn't want to make a scene. Even though that person said somethings that supposed to hurt my feelings, but I chose not to take it. That person can think whatever she wants (ooopss...., it's a woman), and I'll just be myself. That person should open her eyes and her mind first before judging me. What I needed from her is her to show me how things operate around the office, what's the culture, etc. But no, I had to learn things the hard way, get scolded too. An unprofessional attitude I received from a person who's been working years ahead of me.

Same thing happened when I was in Bangkok last January. My mind was opened again when I saw how my colleagues from different countries acted. Some are friendly, some just minded their own business, some are fierce without reason, lol. My colleague from Philippines is a very nice person. I met her counterpart when I was in Shanghai for the training. He's a good friend too.

Now, a colleague from Singapore office, who's a Phillipino, made some comments about me which I didn't see it coming! She commented on how I'm supposed to be a good manager. Excuse me? We hardly talk during the event, and when we took a short break, she just said that? Unbelievable! Even my direct supervisor didn't complaint about me, and I know if she wants me to do right thing, she'd tell me.

In conclusion, when you work for a big corporation, you can only work there. Most probably, you may not be able to make friends, just because those silly reasons (yeah, I called it silly), and of course it's for the sake of your own safety.

My 2009 Resolutions

Business enemy becomes a co-partner?

2008-11-24T18:27:00.006+07:00

Well, well, you can't predict what would happen in the future!

When I consider this institution (with the whole of its employers) is something I want to avoid, I learned that I may work together (event though not directly) with it!

Why? Because it has become the partner of my employee. So I've gotta put myself in a neutral position, put on my smiley face and become friendly. I had to shake their hands and sat on the same table with 'em. Goodness........

Life is all about surprises. Be prepared of the unexpected.

Training in Shanghai

2008-11-24T18:23:00.002+07:00

As the result of my decision, almost two weeks after I join my new employer, I'm being sent for an intensive training in Shanghai. I will be in Shanghai from November 16 to December 14, 2008.

Please read my adventure in Shanghai.

Taking chances

2008-11-12T01:47:00.001+07:00

I have made another big decision in my life. Taking chances, because it is worth it. It’s just like last year, when I decided to move on and took a job offer from an Indian company. Then God has given me a chance to move on, it keeps better and better (Thank You, God). There’s always risk, consequence, and doubt. I don’t let those affect me. ‘Cos when you know, you know! Consider those things as your challenges, just be confident that you will get through the bad situation. Keep your faith!

I admitted, it wasn’t a smooth resignation. I may hurt some people feelings, they may have bad impression. Again……it’s a risk. You just move on and leave it behind you. It’s history because now you are facing your future. One thing for sure, they will not be responsible for your future, YOU ARE!

Analizing Ourselves using SWOT Analysis

10 things you may not know about me

2008-10-21T12:32:00.005+07:00

This post is the English translation of one of my posts in my personal blog.
In that post, I had to write 10 facts about myself. This was passed by one of my internet friends, and then I had to pass it to 10 more friends.

FACT #1

I really really love to eat! I love to go out with friends to taste new food or hang out at a new restaurant. Especially when I'm traveling, I must try local cuisines. When I traveled overseas, I I'd stay in a hotel (it was my employer paying for it, not me), I got to try the buffet menu.

I don't have favorite dishes. I like everything, as long as it's tasty :). So if suddenly I say the food is not good, you can imagine how bad it is.

Breaking my fasting, in KLCC, Aug 2005

What a big prawn!

FACT # 2

Fighting diabetes. My parents had it, grandparents, aunties and uncles have it. It's genetic. So I must watch out. My parents died because of diabetes complications. Last year, my blood sugar level was high for sometime, but with my determination, it's normal now. I watch I eat and exercise regularly. (Fact #1 can't be experienced in a high frequency now).

FACT #3

Treated my acne problem with Rheumason (it's a balm, local brand). This was suggested by my late father, who was a physician and liked to do some experiments. It worked! It dries the acne. As long as you can stand the heat of the balm and you don't pick on your acne, it will be fine.

FACT #4

Have several wound scars: elbow, legs, arms. Most of them were caused by vehicle accidents (fell from motorbike, tricycle, bajaj). Some were caused by Tae Kwon Do accidents (breaking the woods, steel, and tournaments). My shins are not smooth, if you feel the bones, they will be like bumpy road, lol. Another cause was because of my inalertness, bumped my toes to furnitures.

FACT #5

Like my current job, just because I'm the only employee in Indonesia office, flexible working time, as the supervisor is in head office in Mumbai, India. Good salary too. Besides that? There’s nothing to be liked, ironic!

Late salary transfer, late operation budget transfer, slow response from head office.

FACT #6

Join online dating, to find a soul mate, my true love, even if I must find him in other part of this world. With the type of my work: travel frequently, presentations to hospitals, and tight schedule, it was difficult to meet a new man. Met several men by matchmaker, but chemistry weren't there.

I'm on long distance relationship now. Plan to get married, woo hoo.....

FACT #7

Able to change flat tire. This was encouraged by my father, he said that all of his girls must be able to do boy's works. So even if the car tire is not flat, he'd ask us to change it as a practice.

FACT #8

In my previous employment, I often accompanied neurosurgeons during surgeries. I was selling neurosurgery equipments. I've seen brain tumor surgery, trauma surgery, etc. I prayed that none of my family members undergoes that kind of surgery.

Head Trauma Surgery

FACT #9

Studied Mandarin for one year when I was in 9th grade.

Only remember simple conversations, such as : "What's your name?", "How are your?", "I'm sorry", and count from one to ten.

FACT #10

I swear when driving because I don't like the way people driving so carelessly.

But if there's someone drives the car, I'd fall asleep easily and enjoy the ride, hahaha.....

Getting an iPod

2008-10-10T00:36:00.005+07:00

I have been wanting an iPod for a long time. Somehow there was always a thing that held me from buying one. Grrr.....Don't you hate that situation?

So many types to choose from: iPod Shuffle, iPod nano, iPod Touch, iPod Classic . The longer I waited and waited, the many they have become, hahaha.... I must choose which one suits my needs: is it only for music? for keeping my pictures? for watching some movies or TV? or even checking my e-mails? Yeah, iPod Touch has WiFi feature.
Don't forget, which memory capacity do I need to have? I must check my song collections and picture collection first to determine that.
Then color.....Yes, I'm a girl, so color plays some role here. Last but not least, I must review my budget to get this gadget.

What I'd do after this is go to one of my favorite shop websites and check out latest price and information. What I love about ShopWiki is that they have a social program called For A Good Cause, where they donate some of the purchase to fight HIV in Africa. So, you can shop and help people at the same time, cool huh?

Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis

2008-10-05T19:28:00.004+07:00

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don’t care what they say

I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it’s draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love

PS: I'm so broken heart now!

Good career prospect as medical assistant

2008-09-11T15:32:00.001+07:00

A lot of international hospitals are being built in my area. They are luxurious hospitals with high standard service. Of course, these hospitals need new staffs. Usually they will hire medical assistant for clinical lab, administrative works, billing and insurance claims, and for surgeries.

With the high standard that has been set up by the hospital, I bet the hospital gives a good remuneration package for medical assistant staffs. I can tell from the mobile phones that they use, wow…. They are up-to-date models.

I found out in this new hospital, several of the staffs were coming from other hospital which was also my client. There are hospitals that provide medical assistant schools too. But I don’t think these new hospitals have it.

Well, this is very good news for you who consider becoming medical assistant.

Family

2008-08-04T22:43:00.003+07:00

This also to remind myself of my goal in life. What's the point of working hard but you don't have time to share it with your beloved ones?

F A M I L Y

I ran into a stranger as he passed by, "Oh excuse me please" was my reply.

He said, "Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you."

We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told, How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
ater that day, cooking the evening m
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said,

"While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers there by the door.

Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."

By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears began to fall.

I quietly went and knelt by his bed; "Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.

"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.

I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."

I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway."

I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."

FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think?
So what is behind the story?

Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

It's ALL About Attitude (Okay, Not All - But Attitude Means A Lot)

2008-08-01T01:32:00.000+07:00

By Kent Julian

Ever heard of PMA? No, not PMS...PMA. Positive Mental Attitude. There has been a lot written about the power of attitude.

Now, I need to confess, I am not into cheesy slogans. Seriously, as one who speaks all around the country on the topics of REAL Success and Achieving Your Dreams, my skin still "crawls" when I hear some of the fluffy stuff that ends up being packaged in motivational talks. Here are just a few samples:

When you see the word "impossible," think "I'm Possible."
If you can perceive it, you can achieve it.
What counts is how much heart you have, not how much smarts you have.
Trash the "t" in "can't."

Before going any further, please hear what I am saying and what I am not saying. There is nothing wrong with these sayings. In fact, they are inspiring. However, when I read a book or hear a speech that is filled with "sayings," but isn't backed up with practical, solid, applicable strategies that actually work in real life, I feel like I've been sold a false bill of goods. I need more than "fluff," I need tools, action steps, and practical applications. I am a bottom-line individual, and while I tell stories and give illustrations in my talks and writings to inspire and motivate people, I also try to give actual strategies and applications that lead to REAL Success.
Okay, now that you see my heart a bit clearer, I want you to know something. I think PMA...Positive Mental Attitude...gets a bad wrap. It mistakenly gets "attached" to cheesy people who love cheesy slogans and ends up causing other people to blow off the importance of having the right attitude. I mean, who wants to be associated with cheesy wackos?I admit, some PMA people are cheesy. And not just a little cheesy, they'll like Cheese-Whiz on steroids. It's as if they've created a new language using platitudes like the ones listed above and now sound more like late-night infomercial hosts than real, live people.

Yet, in the case of having a positive mental attitude, be careful not to throw out the content with the cheese. Simply stated, having a positive attitude is certainly much better than having a negative one. For instance, a positive attitude:

helps you overcome challenges and difficulty better than a negative attitude.
causes you to take responsibility for your actions and life.
creates energy, while a negative attitude zaps energy.
leads to action.
helps you learn and absorb more.
cultivates expectancy.
enables you to have more fun and enjoy life.
causes you to look for opportunities and potential, not just problems.
helps you believe positive outcomes can occur in almost any situation.
empowers you to not be afraid to fail because you realize that failing at something does not mean you are a failure at the core of your being (plus, positive people realize they can learn from both success and failure).
attracts other positive thinking people into your life.
helps you discover and focus on your strengths instead of your weaknesses.
makes you appreciate life in all its fullness.
leads to developing good habits.
makes you think of how you can better serve others.
leads to REAL Success.
creates authentic joy and happiness in your life.

This list is something I just created off the top of my head. And when I say "top of my head," I do not mean something I created out of thin air. It's a list I thought up in less than 3 minutes simply by asking myself one simple question: what has having a positive mental attitude meant to me?
In other articles, I share more about the "nuts and bolts" of cultivating positivity within one's life and mind; but for now, allow me to leave you with one of my favorite quotes on attitude (notice, this one is meaty, not cheesy):

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes. - Charles Swindoll.

A CHAT WITH GOD (July 10, 2006)

2008-07-30T03:58:00.000+07:00

Maybe this will remind me about life. After what I have been through for a couple of weeks, I need to be motivated and encouraged. Be my-normal-self again.

Only HIM can help me.

A CHAT WITH GOD

God : Hello. Did you call me?

Me: Called you? No. who is this?

God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I Am in the midst of something.

God : What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Me: Don't know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.

God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Me: I understand. But I still cant figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

God : Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you Some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?

God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.

Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.

God : Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

God : Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.

Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?

God : Yes. In every terms, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why cant we be free from problems?

God : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons(to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading.

God : If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?

God : Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

God : Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me: What surprises you about people?

God : when they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me" Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I cant get the answer.

God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

Me: How can I get the best out of life?

God : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

God : There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.

Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the New Year with a new sense of inspiration.

God : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

Bored, Stressed, Depressed (June 25, 2006)

2008-07-30T03:56:00.000+07:00

These couples of days, I didn't feel myself. I'm not the normal Mirna that has enough strength, enough power, enough will to stand up after falling. I feel depressed, I feel bored with all of this.

Please, it doesn't mean that I'm bored living, no way! The opportunity to change it is out there.

At work, I feel I don't see any significant progress in the projects, not to mention some troubles with clients. I know I have to be patient and persistent dealing with all.

But, seriously.........I'm fed up.

I'm tired, physically and emotionally. I'm tired not having more time with my family, i.e. my dearest sister and my pretty niece. I'm tired not having time for myself, for my personal life (heck, what personal life???? LOL).
I'm tired to always obey to someone, to work under limitations (must not say this actually, because it makes you smart. You think, think, think), to be under someone's control.

I need freedom! I need to rearrange my life. Find what I have missed so far, find what I want to do. Will I be with the company next year? Do I want to be there? How long will I stay there? Will I have my own family soon? Will I get more money? (yeah, finally, the ultimate goal! Hehehe.......)

My Father's book collection (September 03, 2007 )

2008-07-30T03:42:00.000+07:00

My father had a huge collection of books. Although he was a doctor, his books are various. From medicinal practice to office management, from sports (martial arts especially) to photography! He had second hand English magazines about home and gardening, cooking recipes, etc.

I did my marketing class homework based on his book collection! Amazing....

He liked to hang out at Pasar Senen and Kwitang, places for old and used books. I remember when I was teenager, he took me to those places and I enjoyed searching for comics books, classic books, children books.

He's got one library on our 2nd floor, his office, and he had one on 3rd floor, in the bedroom. Mom would complain about it 'cos she felt sleeping in book store, lol. But she was right. It wasn't healthy because books collect dust.

Anyway..........All his books were moved to Medan, they weighed around 9 tons! Now I feel I need to read those books. They are interesting and good books!
Especially since I like to write and prepare websites, those can be my sources and reference.

Ummm, so sad. Regret comes afterwards.

Business ENEMY (August 24, 2006)

2008-07-23T02:11:00.000+07:00

Take my words here:

Never get close to your enemies

Never get any contact with enemies

Never give out any things that belongs to you to enemies

================================================================================

I had terrible news yesterday about my on going project. Allah, why the project can't go smoothly?
There's always something on the way. The presentation, the jealous competitors, the betrayed subdealer, etc. We made wrong decision to give our quotation to the competitor. You will be wondering what the heck were we thinking? Well, not me......... I would never never make any contact with my competitor, especially give them my quotation and price!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heck NO!

When I was still an athlete, I would never said hi to my opponent or ex opponent outside arena. I would never smiled, never shake their hands........If I started to make some contact, it would lead to a "relationship", then I must chit chat or whatever things that I didn't want have at the first place.

See, now what happen when you trust people easily and too greedy of something..........
I have warned my boss, Henry has warned my boss.......Yeah him.......the big B.
The jealous competitor used it to go against us.

I will never give up cos I'm at the right side.

Touching Story with A Taxi Driver (Nov 4, 2007)

2008-07-23T01:59:00.000+07:00

I was in Surabaya to accompany Dr. HF for tumor surgery using our ultrasonic aspirator.

To go to airport, I used taxi. It was still morning. On my way to airport, the taxi driver started a conversation with me.
He asked me the purpose in Surabaya, etc. He was a nice person, so I didn't mind entertain his conversation.
I told him about my work, my family (parents and sister). He was empathy to hear my story. He said I'm blessed.

Then he told me his story.
He regret for what he did in the past. He was a naughty boy, disobeyed parents, was a rebel. He went to the best school, didn't study good. He dropped out. While his siblings are college graduates. He felt embarrassed whenever the family gathers.
He's living difficult life now with his own family. His kids start going to school and all.

At the end, he prayed for me and wish me all the best. It was a touching moment.

Trusting & Following Your Instinct (Friendster, September 08, 2007 )

2008-07-16T15:22:00.001+07:00

Have you ever been in a situation when you felt something was wrong and you had to trust and follow your instinct? On the other hand, you sometimes ignore the feeling and just do it / go for it.

Hmmm, I wonder what the percentage of that: between following your instinct and ignoring it.

Sometimes I ignore my instinct too, and as the result, I get negative impacts. It wasn't what I wanted or expected to happen. I doubted my instinct, where actually our body naturally will have an alert system when we are in bad or dangerous situation, even our logical thinking supports it. But noooooooooo....I just ignored those signals. Stupid, huh?

Tell me, tell me about your experience of trusting your instinct and ignoring it.

Giving fake smiles (Friendster, August 02, 2007 )

2008-07-16T15:21:00.001+07:00

Yesterday, I met two persons that I don't like when I was about to leave my house complex.

One was tukang ojeg (rented motorbike rider) and one was my ex-maid. And most of the time, I see them in the morning on my way to office.

I gave them smile, and waved to them. But actually, my smile was fake. One is owing me something and I feel the person doesn't have the intention to return it, and one has hurt my father's feeling.

Has anyone of you done the same thing, faking your smiles?
In what situation?

Should I keep my fake smile?

Love, Care, Respect (Friendster, June 23, 2007)

2008-07-16T15:17:00.000+07:00

From Wednesday to Friday, I have two overseas guests from Integra and we promoted our ultrasonic aspirator to key neurosurgeons here. Tony Wang, ASEAN & Taiwan Sales Manager and Sharion Green, clinical specialist from USA.

Yesterday, we went to Surabaya and had a presentation at Sutomo Hospital. It was successful.
The last working day of the week, I saw love, care, and respect from a person to others, and also today.

1. From a student to the teacher
Some residents of the neurosurgery dept. pushed the wheel chair of one of their professor who got stroke attack. And they took care of him.

2. From a man to his work
This professor, although on the wheel chair, he joined our presentation. I really appreciated it.

3. From a father to his daughters
I saw a father with his three daughters checked in to the same plane we had for Jakarta. Those girls wore the same pattern of clothes. Sharion bet that their mom made them for the girls. I saw him playing with his girls, took their pictures on the stair of the plane, and took care of them. I have never seen this scene. Even, I rarely see a father can be like this to his youngsters.

4. From a taxi driver to his customer
Now, this driver that we hire after the presentation was very different to the one that we got from airport. The first one, was not friendly and care to us as his customers. Sharion asked him to turn the AC bigger, but he said something about the car engine has just started. And when I said wrong location, he was a bit pissed.

But the last one we had, he was cooperative, understanding, and friendly. We stopped at two places, one at a souvenir store and one at ice cream cafe. He just waited for us patiently.

5. Today, love between lovers (or maybe it was lust?)
I sent off Sharion to Cengkareng Airport this afternoon. I accompanied her until the gate, and while we were queuing, at the left corner of my eyes, I can see lovers kissing good bye. Hah??? The man was a western and the woman was Indonesian.
Come on, we are not used to that kind of scene here. Get a room dude!

But............He asked her whether she was alright. Hmmm, ok, kinda romantic.

You can't satisfy everybody, or can you? (Friendster, March 09, 2007)

2008-07-10T01:52:00.001+07:00

This morning I've just received a text message from one of my clients.
A bit complaining about the order she received.

It occurred to me that for the last couple of months, or maybe for the last couple of years in my life, I have been working hard to satisfy people, without thinking about myself. You can tell it by reading my postings about how I do my work from time to time.

First of all, the company I work for, of course....
I give my contribution as they pay me every month :)
Have to proof to them that I can do it.
Then again, if the feeling is not good I tell to myself that I do this for my own cause. Nothing else.

"Kerja adalah ibadah" (work is a form of praying), when you remember this sentence, you can forget the disappointment you get from your work place.
Well, it works for me.

Secondly, the customers I deal with....

Ahhhh, you can't imagine to deal with special/unique/weird characters.
Customers are always right - Customers are kings
We have to crack our head so we can fulfill what they expect from us.
It won't be a problem if you have enough sources. The problem raises when you have limited sources! Then you have to sacrifice (or compromise) someone else.

Thirdly, the family
(Hey.....I place my family in the 3rd place! This is bad!)

Maybe because I have lost my mother, then my father, I don't bother too much. But I still have obligations to do my role as a niece, or as a descendant of my parents.
There were and there are issues I had/have to resolve.
Although it wasn't supposed to be my portion, the adults should have resolved it long time before!

Fourthly, others (friends, etc)

This is not a big problem. I try to come whenever they have invitations to a gathering, or if someone is sick.

Now tell me, can you satisfy everybody?

Courtesy and Manner (Friendster, January 28, 2007)

I have to write about this, because I experienced something today on the train that really pissed me off!

Dr.T had schedule another tumor surgery on Monday, Jan 29. So today I'm going to Purwokerto again..............I took Purwojaya train as usual.

Usually I sit alone, not this time. There's a young man sitting next to me.

I put my bags in the storage above me, took out two magazines and a newspaper that I bought for reading on this trip, placed them in the pocket of the seat in front of me. I made a phone call to my sister when suddenly this man reached out for my newspaper without asking my permission, looked at it for a moment, then he placed it into the pocket at his side, not mine.

Grrr....... He just pushed my button. I saw that, so I picked my newspaper and put it back into my seat pocket.

It happened two more times, and still, he didn't ask my permission. My one magazine was still in the plastic, so he couldn't read it, only stared on the cover.

I was almost burst! I wanted to scold him, to tell him that those magazines have an owner, and he's got a mouth to say something nice to the owner (which is me!).

But I kept silence. I didn't want to waste my energy to scold people.

That was an example, how some of people is too lazy to say or doesn't realize that simple things like asking permission, or say sorry, are important.

Courtesy and manner are important. Never forget about it.

At my younger age, I didn't pay too much attention to that, but after sometimes, you've got nothing to loose to say something nice and mind your manner in front of other people.

My boss emphasized this to us.

Here are more examples of small things that counts:

1. Say "thank you" after someone does something nice to you.

2. Smile and greet to the person you meet. Your smile can brighten his/her day. And smile is "ibadah", do you know that you will get "pahala" out of it?

3. Say "sorry" if you do something wrong.

4. Ask someone's permission if you need something in public place.

Example: You are in a restaurant with your friends, the chairs were not enough for your group and you need to grab 1 or 2 from other table. If you see there's people sit next to your table and they have available chairs, you ask their permission, don't just take the chairs.

5. Pay attention when you make phone calls. There's an etiquette about it too.

6. When you drive on the street, good attitude is needed.

Any other small things that count? Drop your comment here...............

Managing our roles (Friendster, January 23, 2006)

2008-07-10T01:23:00.000+07:00

Interesting topic…….I woke up in the morning, in Seremban, Malaysia, on the day we were going to have team building training.

I just wanted to kill my time till I got shower, so I switched on the TV. Then on TV2, they were having this programme “Positively AM”, hosted by Lina Teoh.

They were talking and discussing about managing our roles. Which roles? Our roles as a child, as a sister, as wife, as a husband, as an employee, as parents, and so on…..Those kinds of role.

It really suited my situation, made me thinking about my roles (a daughter, a sister, a niece, an auntie, an employee)

They had two guest speakers. In overall, the roles must be managed in balance, because we play multiple roles. Sometimes we have to focus more on one aspect at a certain time, because of our limitations. Nobody’s perfect. Sometimes we cannot play a role well, but it doesn’t mean that we are not a good person. So, don’t be guilty about that.

For example:

I am a mother with children. My mother is ill and one of my children is also ill at the same time. What is my priority? Since I have siblings, I can ask them to watch mother while I wouldn’t visit her frequently because I have to take care of my child. I will tell my mother about this and ask her understanding. But in other time, I will spend more time with my mother.

That’s prioritizing and balancing the roles.

Do those roles out of love, not see them as duties or tasks.

In conclusion, to do a role, we must like that role and must know the reason we are doing it.

Dreams, dreams

2008-07-08T02:34:00.002+07:00

It's not about dreaming but about achieving goals. Well, it always starts from a dream, then you vision it, make plans, execute. Sounds easy, huh? But for me, every thing is tough, though in the end, I can get what I want. But I swear! It wasn't easy at all.

July 01, 2008 (Friendster)

My, it's been awhile, and I haven't been blogging for sometimes. In order to take care of my financial situation and the plan that I have in the next 6 months, I have to turn around everything!
What do I want to achieve in 6 months?
a. Earn stabil income at sufficient amount from my internet marketing activities,
b. Which will make me ready to leave my job and save more money, which
c. Will be used for the most important thing in my and Poohbear's life.

In this situation, I will not find solutions if I just sit and whine. Even though it's one of my difficult times, I had to find ideas. If I can't save money, then I must find new money sources. And that sources was neglected: Asian Brain, internet marketing center!
I was starting my internet marketing, learning, and struggling cause it's not an easy thing at the beginning. I don't have any background in building a website. But I must have websites in order to sell goods and make money.
Then, came my new job, and my focus was only to that job. Look what I found out about it! Late salary payment, slow response from head office, etc. Once again, I can't depend and rely on some employer.

I'm so determined to make things come true now!
I want to be RICH and WEALTHY, debt free, have financial freedom, get married, go to Haj, build my empire together with Poohbear (Insya Allah).

I bought books about how to build a website, how to modify photos and create graphics. Not only that, I must catch up with internet trend now, how to make money out of it.
I stay up all night, go to bed at 2, 3 even 5 AM !

May Allah see how hard I'm working my butt off to achieve it.

Weekend in Bali (May 23-26)

2008-07-08T02:26:00.004+07:00

When I posted this to YouSayToo.Com journal, they deleted it. It's so funny, they thought they way I wrote it is like a holiday brochure. What a joke. Of course it's about my holiday, what do you think I was supposed to write about my weekend in Bali?

Anyway, enjoy my story:

May 26, 2008 (Friendster)

Weekend in Bali

I'm glad I took this special offer from Accor Advantage Plus in Nov 2007. A $400 package for only $129 and also received $100 voucher for food and beverage and spa.
I needed this get away, after what happened in my work (late salary and bad ass boss).

Batavia Air has changed my departure flight schedule, fom Jakarta and Denpasar.
For departure to Denpasar, the flight was changed from 17.35 WIB to 19.00 WIB.
And for departure to Jakarta on May 26, the flight was changed from 08.00 WITA to 06.00 WITA. Oh I hate waking up so early!

Arrived in Denpasar, Bali in May 23 at around 9.30 PM. Hotel provided me a pick up. I was at room number 540, the other side of the hotel complex. Between the bath room and bed room was bamboo curtain. My room has terrace too. So I could pull it up and watch TV from bath room. My side has two pools and one bar. The cafe, restaurant, and beach are at the other side of the road.
I prepared my agenda for Saturday and Sunday so I could get the best of this trip. I'd love to have dinner at Jimbaran (as a part of the tour) so I prepared two options for Sunday.

The next day, I had breakfast, went on hotel orientation with the guest relation officer, had my sampler spa (foot massage) at 50% discount by the beach, attended Accor Advantage Club presentation, relaxing in my room and had Thai buffet dinner.
I received announcement that there will be water pipe repair started at 00.00 and will finish in 6 hours. I couldn't fill water in the tub cause it seemed the tub leaked.

On Sunday, I started from hotel at 8.30 AM to go on 8 hours of tour (Kintamani and Sukawati area). When I wanted to take a bath around 06.45 WITA, there was no water, while just some minutes before I still had water for washing my pee. I reported this to Front Desk and they asked me to take a bath in Beach Cabana Room. It's near beach and has outdoor bath tub. No, no, I only took a shower.

Because I was the only passenger, tour operator charged me additional 50%. But it was worth it compare if I paid group charge, which was only for the car and driver cost. First place was Batubulan, I watched a Balinese traditional play called BARONG. If it was evening I'd watching KECAK. The place was 1 hour from hotel. Then went to silver handy craft place, passed the village of wooden sculptures, went to a temple in Tampaksiring, went to Mount Batur, passed Ubud (area of Balinese paint artist), last place was Sukawati Market where you can buy clothing and souvenirs.

In Tampaksiring, there's a temple where it has a natural water source since 980 B.C. The water is used for Hindu people bathing and for many villages' drinking water around the area. Mount Batur is a volcano, its last eruption was in 2001. Next to the volcano is the Lake Batur. I had lunch in the restaurant in the area.
I was very very sleepy on the way home.
It's difficult when traveling alone, you are not able to take more pics of yourself, you need other people's help to take your picture. Fortunately the tour driver and a man in Tampaksiring helped to take my pics.

After had Italian buffet dinner and listening to live music (and watch foreign tourists dancing on the stage), I took stone massage spa for 90 minutes. Oh my God it was so nice! I don't like falling asleep when having body treatment.

Went to my room, stayed up for 2 hours then slept. Woke up at 3.30 AM/WITA and went to airport at 4.30 AM/WITA.

First posting in 2008 in this blog

2008-07-08T01:34:00.003+07:00

Oh my God! I haven't written this blog for ages!. My last posting was in November 2007. And when I wanted to write this entry, I saw that I'm still using old version of Blogger.
Gosh, so out of date. So I have upgraded this template, what I'd do next is to find a template that will represent what I feel.
Default Blogger templates are boring. Oooopsss, sorry, but it's the reality.

Hmm...... There are a lot of things to write, I wrote stuffs here and there in my other blogs. I realized that if I'm gonna focus on my internet marketing activity, I must have a personal blog but yet commercial one. Or have blogs where I can monetize it, with specific topics. 'Cos I've been catching up with what's happening in the internet nowadays and now they pay you to blog.
Oh man....Then how come I'm still stuck with Friendster's blog? Even I have lots of friends there but only few read and gives comment on my experience.
So I'm gonna move some of my postings in Friendster here.

I'm kinda feeling frustrated now, cos just received an e-mail from Google Adword Support regarding my account. They informed me that I've promoted very poor quality landing pages so they have stopped my ads. I feel I'm so stupid 'cos I can't create or build good pages.
I have applied to other ads service like YSM and AdBrite.
I think something is wrong with the keywords I use. The impression is very small.

Oh, I must think of something else, not carried away by this obstacles. I have personal target to achieve! Mirna, try harder and smarter.

Mirna, you've found Mr. Right because You're Ready for a Family

2007-11-15T21:26:00.000+07:00

Have You Found Mr. Right?

My Result: You're Ready for a Family

You've played the field and maybe sown some wild oats in your day. In the process, you've figured out who you are and what you want. And now you're going after it with a great guy who wants a family as much as you do. It sounds like you're both ready to settle down and start your own family traditions.

You've probably always made family a priority. Caring and dedicated, you'd do anything for those you love. So it's no surprise that you're ready to add more people to your family...no matter how you'll get along with his mother.

Gwen Stefani - 4 in the morning

2007-05-17T12:18:00.000+07:00

Wakin up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had it’s say
I guess I feel alright

But it hurts
when I think,
when I let it sink in
It’s all over me
I'm lying here in the dark
Watchin you sleep, it hurts a lot

[Bridge]
And all I know is you’ve got to give me everything
Nothing less 'cause you know I give you all of me

[Chorus]
I give you everything that I am
I’m handin over everything that I’ve got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don’t ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up till four in the morning and the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight

What have we been doing for all this time
Baby if we’re gonna do it come on do it right

All I wanted was to know I'm safe
Don’t wanna lose the love I found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don’t let me down

It’s not fair, how you are
I can’t be complete, can you give me more

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Oh please, you know what I need
Save all your love for me
We can’t escape the love
Give me everything that you have

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Everything you own in the box to the left
In the closet that's my stuff - Yes
If I bought it nigga please don't touch
And keep talking that mess, that's fine
But could you walk and talk at the same time
And It's my mine name that is on that Jag
So remove your bags let me call you a cab

Standing in the front yard telling me
How I'm such a fool - Talking about
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I could have another you in a minute
matter fact he'll be here in a minute - baby

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable

So go ahead and get gone
And  call up on that chick and see if she is home
Oops, I bet ya thought that I didn't know
What did you think I was putting you out for?
Cause you was untrue
Rolling her around in the car that I bought you
Baby you dropped them keys hurry up before your taxi leaves
Standing in the front yard telling me
How I am such a fool - Talking about
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I could have another you in a minute
matter fact he'll be here in a minute - baby
[ these lyrics found on www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I will have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable

So since I’m not your everything
How about I'll be nothing
Nothing at all to you
Baby I wont shead a tear for you
I won't lose a wink of sleep
Cause the truth of the matter is
Replacing you is so easy

The Corrs: One Night

2006-11-17T16:07:00.000+07:00

To my lover, king of my heart, I will give you this.....

And it's not only for one night.......It will be FOREVER

"One Night"

Lond day and I'm ready - I'm waiting for your call
'Cos I've made up my mind
My heart aches with a hunger and the want that you were mine
No I cannot deny

So for one night, is it alright
That I give... you
My heart, my love, my heart
Just for one night
My body, my soul
Just for one night
My love, my love
For one night, one night, one night

When morning awakes me
Well I know I'll be alone
And I feel I'll be fine
So don't you worry about me
I'm not empty on my own
For inside I'm alive

That for one night, it was so right
That I gave... you
My heart (my heart...), my love, my heart
Just for one night (one night...)
My body, my soul
Just for one night (one night...)
My love, I loved
For one night (one night...), one night, one night

[Guitar solo]

For one night, it was so right
That I gave... you
My heart (my heart), my love, my heart
Just for one night (one night...)
My body, my soul
Just for one night (one night...)
My love, my love
For one night (one night), one night, one night
One night...

The Corrs: What Can I Do

2006-11-17T16:04:00.001+07:00

Ini kalo gue udah hopeless and desperate sama gebetan gue..... Kok loe gak ngeh ngeh seh kalo ada yg merhatiin loe, yg sayang sama loe, yg care sama loe? Man..... Open your eyes!

"What Can I Do"

I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we've talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

There's only so much I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows I might feel better, yeah
If I don't try and I don't hope

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

No more waiting, no more, aching...
No more fighting, no more, trying...

Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just going to let it fly

What can I do to make you love me
(What can I do to make you love me)
What can I do to make you care
(What can I do to make you care)
What can I say to make you feel this
(What can I do to make you love me)
What can I do to get you there
(What can I do to make you care)
What can I do to make you love me
(What can I do to make you love me)
What can I do to make you care
(What can I do to make you care)
What can I change to make you feel this
(What can I do to make you love me)
What can I do to get you there
(What can I do to make you care)

And love me... love me...

The Corrs: So Young

2006-11-17T15:59:00.000+07:00

This will always remind me that always stay young, live your life to the fullest........

"So Young"

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
We are taking it easy
Bright and breezy, yeah
We are living it up
Just fine and dandy, yeah

And it really doesn't matter that we don't eat
And it really doesn't matter if we never sleep
No it really doesn't matter, really doesn't matter at all

Coz we are so young now, we are so young, so young now
And when tommorow comes, we can do it all again

We are chasin' the moon
Just running wild and free
We are following through
Every dream and every need

And it really doesn't matter that we don't eat
And it really doesn't matter if we never sleep
No it really doesn't matter, really doesn't matter at all

Coz we are so young now, we are so young, so young now
And when tommorow comes, we can do it all again
Yeah, we are so young now, we are so young, so young now
And when tommorow comes, we'll just do it all again
All again, all again, yeah, all again, all again..., Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
So young now, we are so young, so young now
And when tommorow comes, we'll just do it all again
Yeah, we are so young now, we are so young, so young now
And when tommorow comes, we'll just do it all again

We are so young... (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah-ie Yeah)

The Corrs: Goodbye

2006-11-17T15:56:00.001+07:00

Ini lagu mengingatkan gue pada almarhum nyokap gue. Gue gak bakal bisa mengucapkan "goodbye" kepada beliau, kepada semua memori yang gue punya dengan beliau.

I miss her so much and every moment I remember her, I will have tears down from my eyes, like right now. Mom, may you have best place with Allah in heaven.

"Goodbye"

I never thought one day you'd be gone,
away forever more
No one can say, no one could explain
why you were taken

Oh where are you now?
Could I get there somehow?

It's time to say goodbye
Block out the sun and pack up the sky
Don't let my tears start to make you cry
Each time I try to say my goodbye
Try to stop asking why

Tell me it's true, tell me there's something more
Another time for love
One day I'll know, one day I'll be there
Will you be waiting?

Oh where are you now?
Could I get there somehow?

It's time to say goodbye
Block out the sun and pack up the sky
Don't let my tears start to make you cry
Each time I try to say my goodbye
Try to stop asking why
Try to stop asking why... yeah...

Where are you now?
Could I get there somehow?

It's time to say goodbye
Block out the sun and pack up the sky
Don't let my tears start to make you cry
Each time I try to say my goodbye
Try to stop asking why, why
Try to say my goodbye

Your Birthdate: April 6

A birthday on the 6th of the month adds a tone of responsibility, helpfulness, and understanding to your natural inclinations.

Those born on the sixth are more apt to be open and honest with everyone, and more caring about family and friends, too.

This is a number associated with responsibility and caring - this birthday lends a degree of concern for others.

How Islamic inventors changed the world magnify

Published: 11 March 2006

http://news.independent.co.uk/world/science_technology/article350594.ece

here's the full article*

How Islamic inventors changed the world

From coffee to cheques and the three-course meal, the Muslim world has given us many innovations that we take for granted in daily life. As a new exhibition opens, Paul Vallely nominates 20 of the most influential- and identifies the men of genius behind them

1 The story goes that an Arab named Khalid was tending his goats in the Kaffa region of southern Ethiopia, when he noticed his animals became livelier after eating a certain berry. He boiled the berries to make the first coffee. Certainly the first record of the drink is of beans exported from Ethiopia to Yemen where Sufis drank it to stay awake all night to pray on special occasions. By the late 15th century it had arrived in Mecca and Turkey from where it made its way to Venice in 1645. It was brought to England in 1650 by a Turk named Pasqua Rosee who opened the first coffee house in Lombard Street in the City of London. The Arabic qahwa became the Turkish kahve then the Italian caffé and then English coffee.

*
2 The ancient Greeks thought our eyes emitted rays, like a laser, which enabled us to see. The first person to realise that light enters the eye, rather than leaving it, was the 10th-century Muslim mathematician, astronomer and physicist Ibn al-Haitham. He invented the first pin-hole camera after noticing the way light came through a hole in window shutters. The smaller the hole, the better the picture, he worked out, and set up the first Camera Obscura (from the Arab word qamara for a dark or private room). He is also credited with being the first man to shift physics from a philosophical activity to an experimental one.

*
3 A form of chess was played in ancient India but the game was developed into the form we know it today in Persia. From there it spread westward to Europe - where it was introduced by the Moors in Spain in the 10th century - and eastward as far as Japan. The word rook comes from the Persian rukh, which means chariot.

*
4 A thousand years before the Wright brothers a Muslim poet, astronomer, musician and engineer named Abbas ibn Firnas made several attempts to construct a flying machine. In 852 he jumped from the minaret of the Grand Mosque in Cordoba using a loose cloak stiffened with wooden struts. He hoped to glide like a bird. He didn't. But the cloak slowed his fall, creating what is thought to be the first parachute, and leaving him with only minor injuries. In 875, aged 70, having perfected a machine of silk and eagles' feathers he tried again, jumping from a mountain. He flew to a significant height and stayed aloft for ten minutes but crashed on landing - concluding, correctly, that it was because he had not given his device a tail so it would stall on landing. Baghdad international airport and a crater on the Moon are named after him.

*
5 Washing and bathing are religious requirements for Muslims, which is perhaps why they perfected the recipe for soap which we still use today. The ancient Egyptians had soap of a kind, as did the Romans who used it more as a pomade. But it was the Arabs who combined vegetable oils with sodium hydroxide and aromatics such as thyme oil. One of the Crusaders' most striking characteristics, to Arab nostrils, was that they did not wash. Shampoo was introduced to England by a Muslim who opened Mahomed's Indian Vapour Baths on Brighton seafront in 1759 and was appointed Shampooing Surgeon to Kings George IV and William IV.

*
6 Distillation, the means of separating liquids through differences in their boiling points, was invented around the year 800 by Islam's foremost scientist, Jabir ibn Hayyan, who transformed alchemy into chemistry, inventing many of the basic processes and apparatus still in use today - liquefaction, crystallisation, distillation, purification, oxidisation, evaporation and filtration. As well as discovering sulphuric and nitric acid, he invented the alembic still, giving the world intense rosewater and other perfumes and alcoholic spirits (although drinking them is haram, or forbidden, in Islam). Ibn Hayyan emphasised systematic experimentation and was the founder of modern chemistry.

*
7 The crank-shaft is a device which translates rotary into linear motion and is central to much of the machinery in the modern world, not least the internal combustion engine. One of the most important mechanical inventions in the history of humankind, it was created by an ingenious Muslim engineer called al-Jazari to raise water for irrigation. His 1206 Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices shows he also invented or refined the use of valves and pistons, devised some of the first mechanical clocks driven by water and weights, and was the father of robotics. Among his 50 other inventions was the combination lock.

*
8 Quilting is a method of sewing or tying two layers of cloth with a layer of insulating material in between. It is not clear whether it was invented in the Muslim world or whether it was imported there from India or China. But it certainly came to the West via the Crusaders. They saw it used by Saracen warriors, who wore straw-filled quilted canvas shirts instead of armour. As well as a form of protection, it proved an effective guard against the chafing of the Crusaders' metal armour and was an effective form of insulation - so much so that it became a cottage industry back home in colder climates such as Britain and Holland.

*
9 The pointed arch so characteristic of Europe's Gothic cathedrals was an invention borrowed from Islamic architecture. It was much stronger than the rounded arch used by the Romans and Normans, thus allowing the building of bigger, higher, more complex and grander buildings. Other borrowings from Muslim genius included ribbed vaulting, rose windows and dome-building techniques. Europe's castles were also adapted to copy the Islamic world's - with arrow slits, battlements, a barbican and parapets. Square towers and keeps gave way to more easily defended round ones. Henry V's castle architect was a Muslim.

*
10 Many modern surgical instruments are of exactly the same design as those devised in the 10th century by a Muslim surgeon called al-Zahrawi. His scalpels, bone saws, forceps, fine scissors for eye surgery and many of the 200 instruments he devised are recognisable to a modern surgeon. It was he who discovered that catgut used for internal stitches dissolves away naturally (a discovery he made when his monkey ate his lute strings) and that it can be also used to make medicine capsules. In the 13th century, another Muslim medic named Ibn Nafis described the circulation of the blood, 300 years before William Harvey discovered it. Muslims doctors also invented anaesthetics of opium and alcohol mixes and developed hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes in a technique still used today.

*
11 The windmill was invented in 634 for a Persian caliph and was used to grind corn and draw up water for irrigation. In the vast deserts of Arabia, when the seasonal streams ran dry, the only source of power was the wind which blew steadily from one direction for months. Mills had six or 12 sails covered in fabric or palm leaves. It was 500 years before the first windmill was seen in Europe.

*
12 The technique of inoculation was not invented by Jenner and Pasteur but was devised in the Muslim world and brought to Europe from Turkey by the wife of the English ambassador to Istanbul in 1724. Children in Turkey were vaccinated with cowpox to fight the deadly smallpox at least 50 years before the West discovered it.

*
13 The fountain pen was invented for the Sultan of Egypt in 953 after he demanded a pen which would not stain his hands or clothes. It held ink in a reservoir and, as with modern pens, fed ink to the nib by a combination of gravity and capillary action.

*
14 The system of numbering in use all round the world is probably Indian in origin but the style of the numerals is Arabic and first appears in print in the work of the Muslim mathematicians al-Khwarizmi and al-Kindi around 825. Algebra was named after al-Khwarizmi's book, Al-Jabr wa-al-Muqabilah, much of whose contents are still in use. The work of Muslim maths scholars was imported into Europe 300 years later by the Italian mathematician Fibonacci. Algorithms and much of the theory of trigonometry came from the Muslim world. And Al-Kindi's discovery of frequency analysis rendered all the codes of the ancient world soluble and created the basis of modern cryptology.

*
15 Ali ibn Nafi, known by his nickname of Ziryab (Blackbird) came from Iraq to Cordoba in the 9th century and brought with him the concept of the three-course meal - soup, followed by fish or meat, then fruit and nuts. He also introduced crystal glasses (which had been invented after experiments with rock crystal by Abbas ibn Firnas - see No 4).

*
16 Carpets were regarded as part of Paradise by medieval Muslims, thanks to their advanced weaving techniques, new tinctures from Islamic chemistry and highly developed sense of pattern and arabesque which were the basis of Islam's non-representational art. In contrast, Europe's floors were distinctly earthly, not to say earthy, until Arabian and Persian carpets were introduced. In England, as Erasmus recorded, floors were "covered in rushes, occasionally renewed, but so imperfectly that the bottom layer is left undisturbed, sometimes for 20 years, harbouring expectoration, vomiting, the leakage of dogs and men, ale droppings, scraps of fish, and other abominations not fit to be mentioned". Carpets, unsurprisingly, caught on quickly.

*
17 The modern cheque comes from the Arabic saqq, a written vow to pay for goods when they were delivered, to avoid money having to be transported across dangerous terrain. In the 9th century, a Muslim businessman could cash a cheque in China drawn on his bank in Baghdad.

*
18 By the 9th century, many Muslim scholars took it for granted that the Earth was a sphere. The proof, said astronomer Ibn Hazm, "is that the Sun is always vertical to a particular spot on Earth". It was 500 years before that realisation dawned on Galileo. The calculations of Muslim astronomers were so accurate that in the 9th century they reckoned the Earth's circumference to be 40,253.4km - less than 200km out. The scholar al-Idrisi took a globe depicting the world to the court of King Roger of Sicily in 1139.

*
19 Though the Chinese invented saltpetre gunpowder, and used it in their fireworks, it was the Arabs who worked out that it could be purified using potassium nitrate for military use. Muslim incendiary devices terrified the Crusaders. By the 15th century they had invented both a rocket, which they called a "self-moving and combusting egg", and a torpedo - a self-propelled pear-shaped bomb with a spear at the front which impaled itself in enemy ships and then blew up.

*
20 Medieval Europe had kitchen and herb gardens, but it was the Arabs who developed the idea of the garden as a place of beauty and meditation. The first royal pleasure gardens in Europe were opened in 11th-century Muslim Spain. Flowers which originated in Muslim gardens include the carnation and the tulip.

What Kind of Girlfriend Are You?

2006-03-26T23:22:00.000+07:00

You're an Amorous Adventurer

What Kind of Girlfriend Are You?

Brought to you by Tickle

Carefree and fun, you are easily excited when it comes to new experiences — and that includes relationships. It's not that you see boyfriends as frivolous pursuits, but you enjoy the art of the chase, and you work to make sure that long-term relationships maintain that sense of adventure and surprise.

You may not be the type of girlfriend who spends every waking hour with her man, but that doesn't mean you're not thinking about him. You're just an independent woman, and it's important for you to feel challenged and creative in most things you do. That's what makes any relationship an adventure.

There he is!

2006-03-13T22:23:00.000+07:00

Oh goodie!

He was online last Saturday and he let me know he was fine. He will be visiting me on April, as we discussed for sometimes. He was busy accompanying his visiting cousin, which his situation for me was not reasonable. I mean, how he "serves" his family member. And how he didn't send me any notices (SMS, or offline messages) that will probably take only a minute to do that.

I was so upset because he didn't give any news for more than 2 weeks. So, I think I must lower down my expectation in case he doesn't come. The pain won't hurt that much.

Where is he?

2006-03-08T22:52:00.000+07:00

God...............been trying to contact my Sayang....It's been almost 2 weeks since we online last time when I went to Bandung. When it was only 1 week, I still understand that he might be busy with his visiting cousin.

Left him offline messages or text him to his cell.

Now.....I don't know if he's still interested in me. I tried to call him for 3 days. I miss his voice. On last Saturday, I sent him text and the report said that it was stil pending. I was worried, I thought he has changed his cell number and didn't tell me at all. But then the text message was delivered. That meant that he was there.
Then I called the number. It went through but wasn't answered.
STRANGE!

I call everyday at the same time, especially because I'm going to Bangkok. Same response.

I like this guy, but I don't know if I have to get through the same treatment like I got from my ex.
I mean, if you don't want to have anything to do with me, just say it. Don't give me a silent treatment.

Well, I'll try to keep the positive thinking, but I can't help it if I have bad thoughts. He said he will come to Jakarta on April. Can I still hope to that?

It's hard for me to open up to someone. When I did, he only stayed for awhile.
Is something wrong with me?

Please help me............

I'm in LUV

2006-01-12T20:14:00.000+07:00

I think I'm in love....I think? Yes, I AM.... It's funny cos I have never imagined this thing happens to me....Not love I mean, but how I met my love one...I have never believed such things as Internet boyfriend. I hope he's truly nice and good.

We have to be carefull and precautious about this Internet thing, right?

But after 4 months meeting him online (yeahhhhh............it's a little bit embarassing), chatting and having discussion...I think he's my type, and we share the same goal.

Well, I just don't want to get carried away by the love mood.

Let's see in the next couples of months, how it goes.....

Love is in the air

Drama.....drama......

2005-11-20T19:14:00.000+07:00

Duh......belum bisa kunikmati ketenangan, muncul lagi "drama" baru di Mawar 171.

Biasalah, Bapak dengar gosip-gosip, disangkanya kita lagi yang jadi sumber (Nov 16). Ih....ngapain juga ngurusin yang begitu. Terpaksa aku yang cek n ricek, investigasi utk membersihkan nama baik. Lah, Bapak yang harusnya di tempat netral malas untuk cek. Sebel!
Kalau diurut kejadiannya, kaya'nya gak mungkin banget, karena kita tdk ada waktu luang utk berbincang dgn Ibu S.

Jadi catatan: a) Jaga mulut di depan orang! Mau dia keluarga atau bukan, semua perkataan bisa diputarbalikkan untuk memojokkan kita.

b) Trust no one! Intinya, ya sama dengan yang di atas.

Dan pihak yang digosipkan (Ibu TT) juga rese', gede ambek, manja. Mungkin aku bisa mengatur perilaku dan perkataan di depan pihak itu, walaupun kurang suka. Tapi Sofi terlalu cuek. Dan Ibu TT menganggap Sofi belum bisa menerimanya dengan baik. Lho......Namanya juga orang, sifat kita beda-beda, pendekatan yang dipakai juga beda dong. Well, what do you expect from the person who has such background.

Ah....dari awal juga mereka tak cocok. Jadi, ya tak bisa dipaksakan. Asal ada usaha dan komunikasi dari kedua belah pihak, seharusnya sih bisa berjalan baik ya?

Sialnya, di malam terakhir Bu TT akan pergi ke Mdn, aku melakukan kesalahan: menegurnya karena selesai masak di rumahku, dapurku tdk dibersihkan (menurut Ibu S). Alhasil, lantainya berminyak, dari dapur sampai pintu depan. Aku bingung, kata Bapak aku salah, karena yang bikin kotor lantai itu Bapak, karena menyeret selang dari gudang ke depan.
Mmmm, jelas jelas, lantainya kotor karena minyak, bukan air atau pasir. Siapa yang bener nihhhhhhh!!!!!

Gak enak juga sih, kita gak say goodbye sama mereka, abis tidurnya bablas! Mereka berangkat jam 5 pagi.

Males deh, pake drama drama beginian!

Allah telah menggerakkan hatiku agar Hari Raya ini aku mengunjungi Oom Im, adik ibuku.
Kemarin, kami berempat (Aku, Sofi, Dicky, Rara) pergi mengunjungi saudara-saudara ibu. Mulai dari Atuk Jamhur, Oom Im, dan Oom Yus. Kami tidak bisa mengunjungi banyak tempat karena Rara kelihatan sudah capek dan rewel.

Di tempat Oom Im, kami disambut dengan baik dan terbuka. Alhamdulillah Ya Allah....
Senang rasanya bertemu dan bercerita. Walaupun tidak bisa cerita semua hal, karena kita kan baru memulai lagi. Kami makan siang di sana, lalu berfoto-foto.

Oom Im dan Tante Irma sangat senang dengan Si Kecil Rara. Sebelum pulang, kami berfoto bersama. Lalu sewaktu bersalaman dengan Oom Im, dia memelukku dan menangis, berkata bahwa ia sangat sedih melihat kondisi seperti ini dan sudah beberapa hari ini ia memimpikan ibu. Ya, hari itu tgl. 7 Nov 2005 adalah tahun kedua ibu meninggalkan kami.
Ia bilang agar lupakan hal-hal yang lalu, mari mulai dari awal lagi.
Aku bilang kalau aku juga sedih, aku tidak kuat menerima semua itu.

Ya mudah-mudahan saja apa yang dia katakan bisa dipegang. Biar bagaimanapun, kami pernah disakiti.

Tetapi, ada kelegaan di hati, ada sedikit ketenangan yang aku rasakan hari itu.

Ya Allah, semoga semuanya berjalan dengan baik kembali. Amin.

It's been a long time I haven't done any cooking. I'm afraid I may forget what my mom taught me. Actually it was since I've been moving around from one house to another. I was too lazy to unpack my cookware and most important thing is I forgot where I put my recipe book!

I miss my dad

2005-02-17T19:05:00.000+07:00

As usual, I went to clients as a part of my work.

Today, the schedule was to visit RSCM.
With Michael, I met Pak Anto, Facility Director of the hospital.
In that room, his daughter was there, doing something for awhile, she said goodbye to Pak Anto and then rushed to the door to go to other place.
Pak Anto stopped her, asked her to come to him, then he hugged her and kissed both of her cheek before she left.

Wow......Watching that, my tears almost ran down.......
I just remember my dad then. I miss him a lot. He has never done the kind of gesture like Pak Anto did. I wonder why.............
But I know, he loves me in his own way....I know he also misses me, misses my sister......

I love you dad

Menjelang Hari Raya

2004-11-09T01:34:00.000+07:00

Minggu terakhir sebelum libur Lebaran.
Banyak sekali yang harus dikerjakan, baik kerjaan kantor maupun urusan rumah.
Terasa cepat waktu berlalu. Ramadhan sudah akan berakhir dan aku tidak melakukan ibadah secara optimal. Tentu saja puasa jalan terus..........begitu pula sholat, tapi yg sunah jarang sekali aku kerjakan. Kapan lagi dapat melakukannya di bulan yang penuh rahmat ini?

Ada beberapa janji yang belum aku penuhi untuk bertemu teman lama dan mengunjungi keluarga dari ibuku.

Kerjaan kantor tidak terlalu sibuk, tapi...........tetap aja berat. Banyak persiapan yang harus dilaksanakan untuk ACNS Bali di Desember nanti. Belum lagi filing system utk ISO, Joseph pasti sudah menunggu laporan; formulir registrasi produk belum beres, n follow up kunjungan ke customer. Wah, itu jangan sampai lupa. Bisa marah nanti customer2ku.

Mobil masih mogok di rumah, belum di-service juga. Tapi ini sudah mau libur, apa masih ada montir yang mau cek itu mobil? Mau dijual, tapi ijin dari Bapak belum ada. Gimana ya? Pusing.
Kemarin kulihat, ban kiri depannya kempes. Lama-lama mobil itu jadi besi tua, rongsokan, sama seperti barang2 tua lainnya di rumahku, tak bisa dipergunakan!
Urusan dokumen2 lainnya? Wah, tak ada lagi waktu luang untuk membereskan urusan rumah. Jumat nanti aku sudah mudik ke Medan.

Bapakku yang bawel, bolak balik tanya apa komputernya yg butut itu jadi dibawa ke Medan bareng aku, di-hand carry naik pesawat. Berapa timbangannya? Sebenarnya perkiraanku, berat komputer itu tidak akan melebihi berat yang diperbolehkan oleh setiap orang pas naik pesawat, tapi memang aku tidak tau berat pastinya. Bapakku terus2an SMS, tanya berapa beratnya. Sampai malam ini pun masih ditanyakan, aku belum timbang juga karena timbangannya rusak. Sampai kuterima satu SMS yang pedas darinya, membuat aku tak mau menjawab. Tapi, kalau tak dijawab pasti akan tanya terus. Akhirnya aku timbanglah ketiga kardus berisi bagian2 PC itu, total 40 kg. Puas?

Gantian bapak yang nanti aku teror, ketemu tidak sertifikat tanah Andung yang kita cari2 ? Urusan ini juga makan waktu. Tapi mudah2an bisa selesai.

Mudah2an semua urusan bisa selesai. Itu harapanku. Walaupun aku tidak menjalankan ibadah dengan baik, tapi semoga aku tetap bisa mendapat hikmah dari bulan ini.
Daripada punya new year's resolutions tiap pergantian tahun masehi, aku lebih suka punya resolusi setiap selesai Ramadhan karena kita terlahir kembali, diberikan kesempatan lagi untuk berbuat lebih baik.

So, Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri teman-teman..............

Greetings
